Visa requirements for the UK

Your experienced IDP Education counsellor will be able to provide advice and guidance throughout the UK student visa application process.

The most common visa for international students entering the UK is the Tier 4 student visa. This is a points-based system.

As a Tier 4 (General) student, you must have 40 points to qualify.

You can score:

30 points for having a valid confirmation of acceptance for studies, which you get for studying a course at an acceptable level with an approved education provider (also known as a 'Tier 4 sponsor'), and for having acceptable English language skills; and

10 points for having enough money (also known as maintenance or funds) to cover your course fees and living costs. Source: UKBA

All visa applications to the UK should be submitted through the UK Border Agency or one of its commercial partners (VFS Global and WorldBridge).
